SAN DIEGO (CNS) – A group of Board of Supervisors candidates and local organizations will call on state legislators Thursday to pass a bill that would mandate rent control statewide.
Assembly Bill 1482 would limit rent increases to once per year at a maximum of about 10% and prevent property owners from evicting tenants without cause. Assemblyman David Chiu, D-San Francisco, introduced the bill in February. Since then, the Assembly approved it in May and it is currently under committee consideration in the state Senate.
